Chapter 726
"Captain, can these black smoke really allow the Japanese to help us destroy the mining area?" Liang Hongjiang recalled his arrangement just now, looked at the mining area with thick smoke in front of him, and asked with disbelief.
"It's definitely possible!" Zhou Cheng nodded.
"The primary target of the Japanese aircraft is definitely the main force of the National Salvation Army. I asked someone to release cigarettes in the mining area. When the Japanese pilots saw it, they would definitely feel that we were still in the mining area. In order to avoid bombing, they had to repeat the same trick and avoid air strikes by setting cigarettes."
"With the Japanese vengeful personality, they will definitely not miss this opportunity to bombard us. This will not only revenge us, but also kill us a lot of living forces. Why not do it?"
Chen Zhengyu still felt that the leader's idea was a bit mysterious, but he couldn't think of a good reason to refute it. He could only look up at the sky with his head held high, hoping that the leader's picture would appear soon as soon as possible.
"Weng buzz..."
The roar in the sky became louder and louder. The three planes obviously set their sights on the mining area where a large amount of smoke suddenly rose. They were hovering around the mining area, constantly lowering the flight altitude, as if they wanted to see it more clearly.
But the smoke rising from the mine area was too thick, and there was no wind today. More than a hundred bone black smoke gathered in the air. After three planes hovered around the mine area for a few times, it became even more difficult to see the ground situation clearly.
"Captain, the Japanese plane seems to be about to start bombing!" Liang Hongjiang shouted excitedly when he saw an airplane above his head suddenly starting to climb.
Zhou Cheng also saw the plane climbing above his head, and the nervous expression on his face suddenly relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the plane's preparation for dive bombing. As long as they throw all the bombs they brought to the mining area, the mining area will definitely be razed to the ground, and we can save thousands of kilograms of explosives."
"Weng buzz...wuwuwu..."
The roar above the head suddenly became louder, and there was a harsh sound of whistling through the air. Then I saw an airplane swooping straight towards the mining area, and the speed was getting faster and faster, just like an eagle that discovered prey...
Less than two hundred meters above the ground, two black bombs suddenly broke away from the brigade and continued to fly towards the mining area along the flight route of the fighter. The plane that had dropped the bomb quickly raised its head and climbed up again to the altitude...
"Boom..."
Two small aviation bombs roared down and just hit the mine.
In the violent explosion, two balls of mushroom-like black smoke rose from the ground, at least forty meters high, which looked particularly scary.
Zhou Cheng smiled. The plane that had just dropped the bomb began to climb, and another plane followed him to dive towards the mining area.
"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu
Soon, Zhou Cheng's ears were filled with the roar of Japanese planes, the whistle generated by diving, and the explosion of aviation bombs...
The ground under my feet began to tremble in explosions after explosion.
Liang Hongjiang's eyes shone brightly and couldn't help but sigh: "Captain, the ancients had Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a straw boat. Today we actually borrowed a bomb for the Japanese. If the Japanese army knew that we were using the bomb they dropped to destroy the Jingxing coal mine, they would definitely be so angry that they vomited blood on the spot!"
Zhou Cheng replied with a smile: "I don't know if the Japanese will vomit blood when they are angry, but we will definitely save thousands of kilograms of explosives!"
At this moment, Deng Jinghua, deputy platoon leader of the communications platoon, suddenly ran over: "The regiment commander, the deputy regiment commander urgently sent a message. The Japanese and puppet troops they attacked suddenly gave up their strongholds and artillery towers, and were marching and retreating to the county town under the cover of the plane."
"The deputy regiment commander asked us if we wanted to divide our troops to block the attack, and stopped them outside the city, and gathered to annihilate them after dark."
"The Japanese want to cut off their arm!" After hearing this, Zhou Cheng understood the real purpose of the Japanese army's sudden choice to retreat.
"The remaining Japanese and puppet troops on the blockade line are definitely not our opponents. Instead of being defeated by us and losing thousands of people in vain, it is better to immediately give up the stronghold and artillery tower, save the troops, and then fight back when they are ready in the future!"
Liang Hongjiang immediately proposed: "Captain, I think we should divide the troops and block the Japanese outside the city."
"As long as it persists until dark, the Japanese planes leave the battlefield, and with the strength of the left-behind troops, they will definitely be wiped out."
"If the Japanese and puppet troops were released into the county town, it would be difficult to destroy them!"
Zhou Cheng shook his head: "No, the Japanese plane is not a vegetarian. Even if we divide our troops to block the retreating troops of the Japanese and puppet troops, one air bomb can still be reimbursed for one infantry squad, and ten air bombs can kill one of our companies."
"Now there are five or six hours left before dark. If the Japanese planes are desperate enough, the air strikes alone can cause losses to us for two battalions!"
Liang Hongjiang was scared after hearing this. Fortunately, the regiment commander did not accept his proposal just now, otherwise the remaining troops would have suffered heavy casualties under the Japanese air strike.
Then he looked at Zhou Cheng with an anxious look on his face: "Captain, in order to preserve his strength, the Japanese planes will definitely be on the battlefield before dark. We can't block, and we can't fight either. Could it be that we really watch them retreat to the county town as turtles!"
"Call back to Deputy Commander Tang immediately..." Zhou Cheng did not answer Liang Hongjiang's words and began to give orders to Deng Jinghua.
"The main force suspends its attack, and only needs to focus on the retreating troops of the Japanese and puppet troops. After dark, it directly attacks the county they retreated."
"The current national-salvation army is no longer the same as before. Ordinary county towns are similar to a medium-sized stronghold in the face of our army's powerful artillery fire, and sometimes it is even easier to fight than a medium-sized stronghold."
"The county town is too big and there are too many places to defend. After being attacked, the limited troops must be used in dispersed ways. As long as we find their defense loopholes and concentrate on artillery fire and stare at it for a burst of bombardment, it is easy to break out a bloody road into the city and open a breakthrough."
"Of course, we can't be idle during the day."
"No matter how powerful the Japanese planes are, they can only protect the main forces of the Japanese and puppet troops on the blockade line and cover them to retreat to the county town. As for the large number of traitors scattered in the enemy-occupied areas, no matter how capable they are, they will never find the plane to cover them."
"Since we can't defeat their regular army during the day, we will settle for the second best and divide our troops to attack the traitors and spies in the enemy-occupied areas."
"The strength of these people should not be underestimated, and they can also seize a large amount of funds and food in battle."
"By the way, tell Deputy Commander Tang that we must also win the support of the people in the enemy-occupied areas by fighting spies. After the Japanese and puppet troops in the county, each garrison must use the shortest time to develop the captured enemy-occupied areas into our own defense zone, and then establish a defense line next to the defense zone to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from counterattacking. I will be of great use at that time!"
"When I called Deputy Commander Tang back to send a telegram to the Chief of Staff, I also sent a copy of this telegram to the Chief of Staff. Since the Japanese and puppet troops planned to cut off their armies and save their small amount of troops, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops along the railway must have received the order to retreat."
"Let the Chief of Staff directly attack the county town by the same method!"
